What a fun essay Stefan. I laughed at your wife's description of the swim:

She told me my description of a lake teeming with beautiful fish was a tremendous exaggeration, as she only counted 17 fish comprising a measly 2 varieties.

My wife has done a triathlon, and though it doesn't interest me, I am fascinated by the sport and miss the confidence that comes from conquering hard challenges. You've captured that aesthetic really nicely here.

This is so cool! I loved the introduction, I felt so intrigued to know what you were scheming. I was so surprised to realize it was getting your family to participate in a triathlon. It still sounds like quite a challenge to me, so kudos to everyone for completing!
